Generalist predators might contribute to whitefly suppression if they commonly occur in infested fields and generally complement rather than interfere with specialized natural enemies. Here, we review literature from the last 20 years, across US cropping systems, which considers the impacts of generalist predators on B. tabaci. Laboratory feeding trials and molecular gut content analysis suggest that at least 30 different generalist predator species willingly and\/or regularly feed on these whiteflies. Nine of these predators appear to be particularly impactful, and a higher abundance of a few of these predator species has been shown to correlate with greater B. tabaci predation in the field. Predator species often occupy complementary feeding niches, which would be expected to strengthen biocontrol, although intraguild predation is also common and might be disruptive. Overall, our review suggests that a bio-diverse community of generalist predators commonly attacks B. tabaci, with the potential to exert substantial control in the field. The key challenge will be to develop reduced-spray plans so that generalist predators, and other more specialized natural enemies, are abundant enough that their biocontrol potential is realized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects11110823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]],"date-time":"2020-11-23T08:18:23Z","timestamp":1606119503000},"page":"823","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Can Generalist Predators Control Bemisia tabaci?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6357-0727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arash","family":"Kheirodin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, 2360 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alvin M.","family":"Simmons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Vegetable Research, USDA-ARS, 2700 Savannah Highway, Charleston, SC 29414, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesusa C.","family":"Legaspi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA-Insect Behavior and Biocontrol Research, Gainesville, FL 32608, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7659-8366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin E.","family":"Grabarczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Southeast Watershed Research, USDA-ARS, 2316 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1880-5926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael D.","family":"Toews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, 2360 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillip M.","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, 2360 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juang-Horng","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2747-3102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William E.","family":"Snyder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M.","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, 2360 Rainwater Road, Tifton, GA 31793, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"707","DOI":"10.1016\/S0261-2194(01)00107-7","article-title":"Special Issue: Challenges and opportunities for pest management of Bemisia tabaci in the new century","volume":"20","author":"Naranjo","year":"2001","journal-title":"Crop Prot."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"709","DOI":"10.1016\/S0261-2194(01)00108-9","article-title":"History, current status, and collaborative research projects for Bemisia tabaci","volume":"20","author":"Oliveira","year":"2001","journal-title":"Crop Prot."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1404","DOI":"10.1603\/EC12322","article-title":"Monitoring changes in Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) susceptibility to neonicotinoid insecticides in Arizona and California","volume":"106","author":"Castle","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
